Hassan is the name of the boy in the book (and film) The Kite Runner. If I were Arabic or anything like that I would love to call a son after this great character and story but since I'm Dutch it would be a little weird. Just imagine a blond blue-eyed boy named Hassan.

Yes, when I read The Kite Runner I fell in love with the character and his name too! If I have a boy, that is what I plan on naming him. I am now married to an Egyptian so I doubt anyone would find it odd if I gave my children Arabic names. Also, as far as physical traits go, my father-in-law has blue eyes so being concerned about a name matching color is a waste of time. There are blondes, as well as blue and green eyed people in Arabic countries. I have seen them.
